Improvisation means BusinessStrategies to develop improvisational skills
Don't assume anyone already knows who
you are and what the situation is, learn to
share information to allow time for insights
and new ideas.
Don´t refuse any information that people
share since it can be a starter to an answer
or a new approach.
Pay extremely close attention to what the
other person is saying and how they say it.

and handshake to make sure you're relaying
the right message: confidence, positivity,
friendliness, and capability.
Learn to add your business experience to
the situation, involving other business
people, the industry or anything else that's
relevant.
Practice, practice and practice. So review
your communication strengths and
weaknesses, and you'll be always prepared.

Become a quick thinker. Becoming a quick
thinker will help you come up with ideas on
queue, communicate more effectively, and
solve problems more resolutely.
Apply the "karaoke rule“. It states that as
long as you can sell your performance, you
don't have to be the best
singer/dancer/actor, etc. If you're able to
communicate — or just fake — confidence
and charisma, you have a better chance of
convincing others of your idea..
